Welcome Back to the 2021 School Year! <\/span><\/h3>\n
\n

I would especially like to welcome our new Year 7 students and their families, with a warm welcome to students who are joining our Marist College community for the first time. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Following the official letter to the College community from Sydney Catholic Schools, I am delighted to acknowledge again the appointment of our new Assistant Principal, Mrs Melinda Alvarez. Mrs Alvarez\u2019s caring nature and sharp eye for curriculum supports her commitment to setting high expectations for all students to succeed. This appointment has been made following the resignation of Ms Taliana at the end of 2020. Ms Taliana has joined the Sydney Catholic Schools Staff in the position of Specialist: School Operations Unit. I thank Ms Taliana for her time and dedication to the role of Assistant Principal at MSCW from 2016 – 2020.<\/p>\n

I would also like to warmly welcome Ms Jennifer Dove to the College Leadership Team in the role of Instructional Specialist.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to all our HSC Students!<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

On Wednesday we were very fortunate to have ex-students Courtney Millar (Class of 2014) and Stefanie Caccamo (Class of 2013) at our Assembly. After graduating from MSCW each of these students have gone on to successfully explore their passion in the performing arts. At the College Assembly, Courtney and Stephanie shared their experiences of being a Marist girl as well as helpful suggestions for our girls to tackle life\u2019s journey. Their Assembly addresses helped inspire each student to be a courageous Marist woman of action, taking charge of her own destiny. It is our actions and choices in life that reveal who we are and what we value. A great message for our Marist girls. Here at Marist Sisters\u2019 College every student has the opportunity to emulate these achievements.<\/span><\/p>\n\n
